Hong Kong’s Umbrellas are ‘Made in USA’

The Washington neo-cons and their allies in the US State Department and Obama Administration are clearly furious with China, as they are with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. As both Russia and China in recent years have become more assertive about defining their national interests, and as both Eurasian powers draw into a closer cooperation on all strategic levels, Washington has decided to unleash havoc against Beijing, as it has unleashed the Ukraine dis-order against Russia and Russian links to the EU. The flurry of recent deals binding Beijing and Moscow more closely—the $400 billion gas pipeline, the BRICS infrastructure bank, trade in rubles and renminbi by-passing the US dollar—has triggered Washington’s response. It’s called the Hong Kong ‘Umbrella Revolution’ in the popular media.

In this era of industrial globalization and out-sourcing of US industry to cheap-labor countries, especially to China, it’s worth taking note of one thing the USA—or more precisely Washington DC and Langley, Virginia—are producing and exporting to China’s Hong Kong. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China has been targeted for a color revolution, one that has been dubbed in the media the Umbrella Revolution for the umbrellas that protesters use to block police tear gas.

The “umbrellas” for Hong Kong’s ongoing Umbrella Revolution are made in Washington. Proof of that lies not only in the obscenely-rapid White House open support of Occupy Central just hours after it began, following the same model they used in Ukraine.[1 cited] The US State Department and NGOs it finances have been quietly preparing these protests for years. Consider just the tip of the Washington Hong Kong “democracy” project.

Same dirty old cast of characters…

With almost by-now-boring monotony, Washington has unleashed another of its infamous Color Revolutions. US Government-steered NGOs and US-trained operatives are running the entire Hong Kong “Occupy Central” protests, ostensibly in protest of the rules Beijing has announced for Hong Kong’s 2017 elections. The Occupy Central Hong Kong protest movement is being nominally led by a 17-year-old student, Joshua Wong, who resembles a Hong Kong version of Harry Potter, a kid who was only just born the year Britain reluctantly ended its 99-year colonial occupation, ceding the city-state back to the Peoples’ Republic. Wong is accompanied in Occupy Central by a University of Minnesota-educated hedge fund money man for the protests, Edward Chin; by a Yale University-educated sociologist, Chan Kin-man; by a Baptist minister who is a veteran of the CIAs 1989 Tiananmen Square destabilization, Chu Yiu-ming; and by a Hong Kong University law professor, Benny Tai Yiu-ting, or Benny Tai.



Behind these Hong Kong faces, the US State Department and its favorite NGO,

Who here didn't know the Western Empire was behind these 'spontaneous protests'? Anybody? The one thing that would shock me is if the umbrellas were literally "Made in the U.S.A.".

Permanent revolution is a key competent of neoconservatism....the more revolutions they can foment, the better for the well-being and continued global dominance of the USA.

Looks like the Chinese Government/Media has called them out on it with a "front page article in the People's Daily":



------------------------------------------------
“Hostile foreign forces” is the bogeyman often trotted out in China’s state media to explain movements that the party doesn’t like. And it has gotten a workout recently, regularly cited in articles as the behind-the-scenes impetus for Hong Kong’s student democracy protests. Just who from overseas is trying to subvert the Communist state, however, is usually left unsaid, even when it’s obvious just who is being referred to. That is, until now.

The U.S. is meddling in Hong Kong, encouraging the protests, while it denies doing so, said the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece the People’s Daily on Friday. “It is hardly likely that the US will admit to manipulating the ‘Occupy Central’ movement, just as it will not admit to manipulating other anti-China forces. It sees such activities as justified by ‘democracy’, ‘freedom’, ‘human rights’ and other values,” said the front-page commentary of the overseas edition.

The piece, entitled “Why the US never gets bored with color revolutions,” goes into some detail on the alleged interference. It mentions that Louisa Greve, a vice president at the Washington-based nonprofit National Endowment for Democracy (which is funded largely by the U.S. Congress), met with top leaders of the Occupy Central movement earlier this year.

“The US purports to be promoting the ‘universal values’ of ‘democracy,’ ‘freedom’ and ‘human rights’, but in reality the US is simply defending its own strategic interests and undermining governments it considers to be ‘insubordinate,’” the commentary continues.

“The US may enjoy the sweet taste of interfering in other countries’ internal affairs, but on the issue of Hong Kong it stands little chance of overcoming the determination of the Chinese government to maintain stability and prosperity,” the People’s Daily concludes.

When asked on Friday whether the U.S. has had a role in encouraging the protests, a State Department spokesperson strongly denied it. “We categorically reject accusations that we are manipulating the activities of any person, group, or political party in Hong Kong,” said deputy spokesperson Marie Harf on Oct. 10.

“What is happening there is about the people of Hong Kong, and any assertion otherwise is an attempt to distract from the issue at hand, which is the people expressing their desire for universal suffrage and an election that provides a meaningful choice of candidates representative of their own voters’ will.”

Apparently, the Chinese party propaganda apparatus isn’t convinced. Beijing continued its attack today, getting downright nasty in its criticism of both the student protesters and their purported overseas abettors. “‘Occupy Central’ will only leave a stink for 10,000 years; it will not make its mark on history,” said a commentary in the Global Times, a paper owned by the People’s Daily.

A separate article in the same paper today went after what it called the “black hands” and “hostile foreign forces” aiding the demonstrators, reported the University of Hong Kong’s China Media Project.

“‘Occupy Central,’ which has resulted in the most violent riots in Hong Kong since the handover, is already seen as a catastrophe for Hong Kong,” the Global Times wrote. “Who is providing ‘black money’ for it? Which people should be held criminally liable?”

“‘Hostile forces’ is a time-honored term in the Chinese Communist Party lexicon,” explained David Bandurski, editor of the China Media Project website, in an Oct. 10 analysis. While the expression was first used in the Soviet Union under Stalin, “in China, it first appeared prominently in the People’s Daily in 1948, the same year the newspaper became the official propaganda organ of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party,” wrote Bandurski.
